This Scout Reservation is the home of one of the tallest climbing/rapelling tower in Texas. The highly trained staff, facilities, and all the amenities makes it a top tier camp.

Attended Lost Pines as a Scout Leader with my troop and the boys loved it. The camp is a good environment for the boys and has loads of good activities. The Instructors are mostly just older teenage boys and not all of them are that interested in what they are doing.

Camping at LPSR is always an amazing experience, the grounds are well maintained and the sand makes sleeping comfortable. The campsites are also well shaded and so stay cool. Water is close by and the bathroom facilities are nice. My scouts look forward to our time there.

Large property owned by B.S.A. for use by scout groups. They offer summer merit badge camps and troops can reserve sites year round. You can reserve the 55 foot climbing tower if you have B.S.A. certified climbing instructors.
